In this episode of Real Living, Lavinia Spirito and Mary Lou Nemecek explore the concept of spiritual sloth, its consequences, and its contrast with viewing faith as an adventurous journey. They delve into how sloth, considered one of the seven deadly sins, leads to a lack of spiritual fervor and complacency. The discussion highlights the importance of perceiving and living faith as an exciting adventure filled with unknowns, likening it to travel where unexpected circumstances can either be a burden or an exhilarating experience, depending on one's outlook. The episode also references Bishop Robert Barron's address to the Jubilee of Youth, emphasizing the call to step out of comfort zones, embrace life's challenges, and seek one's mission in faith. The dialogue concludes with an encouragement to listeners to choose a life of active faith and adventure over spiritual lukewarmness.
